I totally understand the feeling of being ruled by food, even when I’m not even hungry. How has this changed since you got the surgery? My greatest weakness are sweets, specially chocolate. I understand that with this surgery they remove the part of the stomach that makes you hungry, but how does it affect sweet cravings? And do you feel tired or weak? 600/800 cals seems a little low, do you currently exercise? Also, congrats on your progress!

Hi everyone, I’m trying to decide if the sleeve is right for me or if it is an extreme decision. I’ve been struggling with my weight for the past 10 years, I’m 20 years old now. I’m currently the fattest I’ve ever been and I’m considering the surgery because I do not want to wait until my health deteriorates or I reach obesity(my indicators are all ok except for a little excess of LDL and triglicerids, but no liver or sugar problems). My dad and brother are obese (BMI of nearly 35) and my dad has sugar and high pressure problems, so I have a tendency to be overweight from his family and the high pressure precedent. I currently weight 68.4 kg (150.5lb) and my height is 5’ 2’. I understand this surgery is totally life changing and I have mixed feelings about it. I would love to get the surgery because I have faith that the weight loss would be permanent and that I could finally be thin without restricting myself so much as I have done over the last ten years. But I also understand that people who are cleared for this surgery usually have a BMI of at least 30 and have some health issue, so I’d like to hear from anyone who was just overweight instead of obese that decided to get the surgery.any input is very welcome. PS I had an appointment with my doctor and he told me that if I wanted to get the surgery I should stop losing weight and keep my BMIaround 27.5 at least thank you
